Re: Greece 13 May

let's say some things about this last round of greek championship.
first of all, there are 3 games with no interest in both teams. these matches are: aris-atromitos(aris already in uefa cup, atromitos nothing to play for), ionikos-olympiacos(ionikos relegated, olympiacos already champion) and ergotelis egaleo(ergotelis nothing to play for, egaleo already relegated).
so, there is no reason to bet on those matches, or maybe little stakes on over as there are going to be open games.
the other 5 matches are seperated in 2 categories: 2 matches that would decide one more team for uefa cup(paok-ofi and panionios-aek) and the other 3 matches would decide one more team that would be relegated(kalamaria-larisa, panathinaikos-kerkyra and xanthi-iraklis).
let's start with the uefa battle: ofi, paok and panionios are tied to 42 points. if ofi wins at paok, it goes to uefa cup no matter what happens to panionios match. ofi wins at any possible head2head tie.if paok wins or draw against ofi and panionios wins against aek, panionios go to uefa cup. panionios wins the head2head tie against paok. in the last case that both matches end as draws, ofi advances to uefa cup as well.
in the relegation battle, iraklis, larisa and kerkyra are fighting to avoid 1 place that relegates them to B'division. there are a lot of possibilities for these matches as both three teams play away with teams that has nothing to play for. all i can say is that iraklis wins in all possible head2head ties(but iraklis is last of these three teams for now) and kerkyra loses in all head2head ties as well(but kerkyra is ahead in the battle for now).
